Marsha Zazula, R.I.P.
“She gave the entire structure the feeling of a family. That’s why it succeeded and why it was special, and why I loved being part of it.” - Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth
The metal community mourns the loss of Marsha Zazula, cofounder of Megaforce Records, Crazed Management, and Rock and Roll Heaven. My friend and colleague Jem Aswad contributed to this wonderful Variety obituary, which includes quotes from Alex Skolnick, Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth, Charlie Benante, the great “Metal” Maria Ferrero, and of course, Marsha’s husband, Jonny Z. Rest in Power, Marsha. Thank you.
